@johnpoz many thanks I shall take it on the chin and update .... will see how things play after that - I guess I took the 'you're on the latest version' for granted.

I've created a script to convert the dnsmasq.conf dhcp-host to XML to insert into the config file. I then read it in with vi. It's mostly manual. I also told the dns to include the static dhcp entries. I can now resolve the local names and I hope the DHCP works. I won't know for a few hours.

@rtw915 said in WAN optimization/acceleration: Now the SQL team needs me to find a way to improve SQL linked server transfer rates to synchronize transactions. This will bring you back to the initial wan accelerator solution. The only other possible solution is to redesing the db subsystem, utilizing some way of sql replication, taking into consideration propagation delays

@mike_broxt said in WhatsApp is showing connecting but can't connect: After setting up a NetgateSG-1100 Go back to default, and redo your setting up sequence. Do it step by step - and test each step. As soon as Whatapp breaks, undo the last step. Done !?! pfSense doesn't block whatsapp out of the box.

@steveits Yeah, I'll clear the field and see if that makes a difference. And thanks for confirming my thoughts on the SSHguard. :)

Hmm, I wonder what that's causing that would trigger this...

@jknott said in What's a pfSense equivalent to standard linux minicom?: It uses a 2400N81 weird serial cable protocol. That isn't weird, it's just slow. It's the cable that's weird ;) -- Designed so if you plug in a standard 9 pin serial, the UPS shuts down My pfsense box runs 8N1 @115.6K. 8N1 is pretty much standard for anything faster than the 110B you'd find on a Teletype machine. That's 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. BTW, I started in telecom as a bench tech overhauling Teletype machines, where the ASCII models ran 110B... Oh how I know! I used the Teletype and other slow links...we had one at home for my dad's R&D work when I was in jr/sr high school. Graduated to a 300 baud Silent 700 after a while. I had unlimited remote access to the mainframe. Pushed that and paper tape and punch cards out of the way during college. Built a bunch of "glass teletypes" -- adm-3a -- for our university Low Overhead Timeshare System. (They sold as a kit for $200 less than pre-built... paid me $50 to assemble. They assumed $3 an hour and 16 hours, but soon I had that reversed: 3 hr build time, so $16 an hour. Not bad pay for a freshman in 1975 :) )

That looks fine for general access. You don't really need those top two rules, the pass-all rule covers that traffic. The anti-lockout rule will be on your VLAN10 interface. Steve

That was it! I had everything set up on pfSense after adding the P2, but the Azure VNET wasn't aware of the 10.8.0.0/24 address space. Thanks Stephen.

How do you have Wireguard configured? Is the traffic using it? Steve

@voxmagna1 said in Secure DNS over TLS to Cloudflare, no success.: Am I therefore right to conclude that DNS requests over Cloudflare using port 853 are encrypted and on a matter of 'trust' it's whether you trust Cloudflare with DNS requests or a paid for VPN provider? Yes, that's true. The difference here is that some services use resolver location to detect VPN use and block access. Video streaming services mostly. So if you use a DNS service that is using an anycast IP like 1.1.1.1 the actual servers you use will be those close to you. The remote service can use a tailored fqdn to discover where you are resolving from and compare that to your public IP to attempt to discover if you're using a VPN. Steve

@stephenw10 Thanks! I was trying to add http://192.168.10.3:8888/ and it was giving me an error. It worked just using the IP address 192.168.10.3.

@stephenw10 I hadn't even considered there would be a way to reset the password, that should make this a lot easier :) Thanks for the info!

@stephenw10 I know but as I said that is not what I need to do atm. I will read up on it in the future. Thanks!

Cool. Not sure what happened there then but I guess take the win .

Got it! I configured it as "2t,5t" and then made Proxmox use the tagged network instead of untagged. Much better. Thanks for the help! :)

@stephenw10 No, I had it confused with the TFTP Proxy--my bad! Anyway, since it's only one file and I really don't want to open ports I'll use this piggybacking approach. If I need to make more connections/get more files I will try that, I already wrote it down so I don't forget, thanks for the tip!

Hello, after changing the LAN port at the FritzBox the network and the internet connection stays stable. Issue solved ;-) Thanks a lot ... Cheers Migo

Mmm, that is interesting. Good result though.
